I'm looking for more people to play dota with regularly. I'll sit in a lobby for a while and see if anyone joins. Created now. Will probably give up if some friends come online.

this is why we need #fireboltgamer


The hero we need that can make everyone else feel good about their plays.


This is bothering me.

Is there someway of getting an email notification (or something similar) when the when people are looking to start it up? Maybe even simply whenever the tlih thread is bumped. When I don't know what time to look for it, I am not going to be checking all day long. If i got an alert and I wasn't working at that time (which unfortunately is the case a lot of the time living in USW) I would jump on more often than not.

When the guilds were introduced I really expected there would be such an alert through steam, which would have worked as well. As it is I only check tl a few times a day, so I have to be really lucky to happen upon an ongoing tlih.

I tried to start lobbies a few times. I even made a point to do so in the mornings when EU folks should be around, but eventually decided I didn't have personal contact with enough of the regulars to fill a lobby.

I blame stancel literally killing tlihs

But more seriously skill gap between players can be large as stated by other people above, and it makes for not really interesting games
Also switching to IXDL is jsut annoying (but that might just be me, I hate having to install external programs to do extra stuff).

This. :/ I was trying to find EU games when the switch to IXDL client was made but games were very rare. I checked for activity every now and then since with no success. I'd love playing in a chill inhouse league so badly still

We are aware of the issues, hence this blog. And TLIHs were always hosted on USE due to people from all around the world having the best average ping to USE. Sure, US citizens had it better that way, but I literally heard either no complaints at all, or complaints from everyone, which resulted in a rehost.

Considering you typically played Puck in these with your ping I'm not sure how anyone could complain.

Though ping doesn't change the stancel dieback.

Personally I haven't found the skill difference to be a problem. TLIH games have more good players than bad ones and I think thats an important factor as you can tutor individuals instead of having to herd a team

I have to agree that absurd skill differences are hard to mitigate, but I don't think that there are that many TLIHers who are guaranteed to feed. Off the top of my head I can only think of plansix (sorry lol).

TLIH is also pretty close knit and everyone is friendly. There aren't many games where people get mad even if stupid shit happens. IMO this aspect is TLIH's biggest attraction. RMM and IXDL exist but these theoretically "better" games are often a shitty experience.

I'd personally love to keep it that way, but we'll see how it goes and adapt on the go. Either way, we're gonna begin to try and bootstrap the next season this Saturday, so if you could update the modnote Firebolt, that'd be grand (if any doubts regarding hours arise, I'll be available the entire day to host).

We should just have the modnote display the time of the next upcoming TLIH session. If people can see that it's a confirmed thing rather than just some guy "thinking he might try to host something tonight", theyre much more likely to show. Games would start late EU evening, where atleast one "well known" member is available.

Actually, while were at it, it would be pretty cool if TLIH's could be integrated into the liquiddota site. Like if you could see lobby status/player count somewhere on the site, and add incentives like gaining LD gold or maybe some equivalent to liquipedia coins. However, I'm not sure such additions are justifiable if you consider the waning interest in TLIH's.

The countdown modnote made games happen and I think we should try it again.
Maybe automate it to reset every week or something

it helps if you're used to it

there's people who can't play smash with 60ms lag, i cant play dota if i have 200 or more

remember when aL played on eu and stomped all the eu teams? yea, but they also practiced on EU to get accustomed to the pingg

Well you likely play more than in do. That and when I do play TLIH the first time someone drafted me shadow demon, who I had never played, against rocket bear on brew. After than game, my reputation as a feeder was set in stone.
